With the spectre of nuclear war in the air, it's comforting to know that a second radioactive gas has been created  .
Poor high school students will now have to add Ununoctium to the list of Noble gases they must memorize.
It will be interesting to see what uses a semiconductive gas can have in technology though. Although that's a bit further down the line. |
